This admin’s openness with their corruption is oddly brilliant. The public’s mental schemas of corruption are about secret hidden back room deals. So, to put it in the open makes it not “feel like corruption” but make no mistake. It IS SO MUCH CORRUPTION. Gift link www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...

Good news: Most Americans DISAPPROVE (!) of Trump's handling of science and colleges and see their positive contributions to society (NORC/AP survey). Interesting details in report. #academicsky apnorc.org/projects/few...

Disgusting, naked, open blatant corruption. Whether it is crypto, Trump Media stock, real estate developments, licensing deals or jets, foreign governments continue to buy our presidency by bribing our criminal president.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Whoa‼️ Acting FEMA chief David Richardson just told his staff, “Don’t get in my way… I will run right over you.”—at his intro meeting. Threatening career FEMA workers who might resist Trump’s agenda. What matters is loyalty. Obey or get steamrolled. Authoritarianism — one agency at a time.

Shortly after coming to power, the regime orders a massive military parade in the nation’s capital, to be held on the regime leader’s birthday - symbolizing the regime’s claim that the leader embodies the nation. This should be anathema in a democratic republic. It’s insulting and dangerous.

New, from @pamherd.bsky.social & I in @science.org: "Career officials in scientific agencies are unwilling hostages in Trump’s politicization of science, wondering if they will lose their jobs for trying to defend their congressionally mandated missions." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
